Today is a new day!
Tim McAlpineWelcome to the brand new YoungAndFree.com. It is a new decade and we have lots of new things to introduce.
A new employee! DeAndre' Upshaw has joined the Currency Marketing team. DeAndre' has just finished his term as the 2009 Young & Free Texas Spokesperson and we were so impressed with his personality, his creativity and his work ethic that we couldn't pass up the opportunity to keep him as part of the Young & Free movement.
DeAndre' will help in a number of areas. He'll edit the Living Young & Free Show, contribute to the Why Gen Y blog and all of the Young & Free regional blogs during the search phases and help with the day-to-day site maintenance, spokesperson support and mentoring among other things. He will work remotely from his home in Dallas.
A new website! YoungAndFree.com is a new credit-union-industry-focussed site that will feature all things Young & Free and more. The more includes:
A new blog! The Why Gen Y Blog has a simple mission: to equip credit union executives and marketers with relevant information that will help them succeed in attracting and retaining new Generation Y members. It will be written by DeAndre', Cheryl, Nala and myself. We'll cover what we've learned with over two-years of experience running our Young & Free Program, social media marketing trends and cover credit unions, banks and other companies that are successfully engaging young people.
A new live show! DeAndre' will be hosting a weekly 30-minute live show on UStream. He'll talk about credit unions and Gen Y and interview people who are working to attract and retain Gen Y members. DeAndre's first live show will be on Thursday, January 7 at 1 p.m. Pacific., 3 p.m. Central and 4 p.m. Eastern. Tune in here!
A new book! A number of our partner Young & Free credit unions have been looking for a way to put relevant and useable financial information into their young member's hands. Nala has spent the last two-months dedicated to putting a great new Living Young & Free Field Guide together. We've hired 2008 Young & Free Alberta Spokesperson Larissa Walkiw to illustrate the book. It will be printed in the first quarter of 2010 and will be available exclusively to the members of our credit union partners.
A new Gen Y Showcase! We are building a comprehensive gallery of Generation Y marketing programs and resources. We want to help credit union marketing professionals keep abreast of the best stuff happening in this area.
Our new site also features:
- A home for all of the Living Young & Free Show episodes
- Information about the Young & Free Program credit unions
- Our Young & Free Spokespeople, past and present, with a collection of links to their best money-related blog posts and videos
Take a look around and let us know what you think.
Tim
